Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 300749

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

I'm running slackware 10.1 with updates and recently upgraded to
mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7.10.tar.gz from mozilla.org. When I switch between
folders (mail or news) in the left-most vertical pane (using mouse or keyboard),
the right panes (top showing list of messages, bottom showing selected message)
don't always switch/refresh. I have not seen this behavior when using previous
mozilla releases.  The problem seems worse when using the mouse to switch folders.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a different folder (mail or news) with mouse or keyboard. Problem
appears to happen more often with mouse.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The message list and associated message window is not always updated.  User must
select another folder and then reselect the originally selected folder to force
the update.  Sometimes the user must repeat this process to force the update.

Expected Results:  
Switching folders should always update message list window and update viewed
message (if one has been selected).

Other folks using WinXP have reported the same problem on usenet with the 1.7.10
release.  This may be related to bug 246183.
